Description
Our Fae platter is shaped like a fish, from its rounded body to a fanned tail, with ridged fins running along the rim and a small eye near the front. It is made from stoneware and finished in a blue reactive glaze that gathers in a deep, crackled pool across the middle and softens towards the edge, where the bare stoneware shows along the uneven rim. At 35.4cm long, 30.5cm wide and 4.5cm tall, it is a true serving platter rather than a dinner plate, and its shallow raised edge keeps dressings and juices from running off.
Bring it to the centre of the table with a whole baked fish, a sharing salad or a pile of roasted vegetables, and let everyone help themselves. It is made for long weekend lunches, summer suppers in the garden and the kind of kitchen where serving dishes live on open shelves between meals. The blue sits easily in coastal and farmhouse kitchens alike, and it makes a thoughtful gift for anyone who cooks for a crowd or simply loves the sea.
It goes in the dishwasher, the microwave and the oven, so you can warm it, serve from it and clear it away without fuss. Stoneware holds heat well, which is worth remembering if you warm the platter before the food goes on, and at 1.3KG this one has a solid, settled feel in the hand. A reactive glaze shifts as it fires, so the pattern on each platter comes out its own. Between meals, stand it upright on a dresser or plate rack where the fish shape can be seen, or leave it out on the table with a pair of salad servers resting across it.
